Tracking footprints with the UltraCam Eagle Mark 3

24 February 2022

Footprints in Gleisdorf, Austria

SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY

What do a mole, a dog and a human being have in common?

Whether building molehills, going for a walk, or setting up the satellite dish, we all leave footprints in the snow. And all are clearly visible in imagery generated by the UltraCam Eagle Mark 3.

We talk a lot about the precision and image quality of our cameras—and yet we are always amazed at what they let us discover. Even at a 200% zoom level of 5cm GSD imagery (pictured below), we can accurately see details like a molehill or dog paws. So, because of our excellent image quality, extremely small GSDs are not necessary to achieve a high level of detail.

But see for yourself!

Poor TV reception?
Click on the magnifier to discover the traces of a walk on the roof, possibly to fix problems with TV reception.

Mole in hibernation?
While the farmer has paused his work in the field in winter, the mole has also gone into hibernation and stopped its activities since the snowfall.

Living at the limit.
Taking shortcuts across the train tracks is not what we would recommend!

Species diversity.
Many different animals were cavorting here, including (apparently) dogs that rolled in the snow. But the mole could not be dissuaded from diligently building his molehills.
